A subgroup of the Criminal Justice (Fixed Charge Processing System) Working Group is continuing to examine how best to bring this provision into effect and has drafted an outline implementation plan, including a preliminary financial analysis. While it is not possible to indicate a precise date for implementation, this matter will be progressed as quickly as possible under the auspices of the Working Group.
